I was born in Brockton, MA. I am a self taught artist and I love painting and drawing. Unfortunately I am unable to attend a traditional atelier and am in need of the drawing academy program in order to improve my life and my art. I’m currently studying to earn a degree in art therapy. I hope to share the joy and healing power of art with others to improve their lives and health.
I think that the Drawing Academy is a great way for aspiring artists to improve their art…

I want to paint in the same style of the old masters fully learning the steps and layered style which they used from start to end. We should be learning and passing on time honored technique for future generations. I see everything in the high skills of the old masters but do not have the knowledge to attempt the stages to bring about the required result …

Artwork by Cami Lintz
Hello! My name is Cami Lintz and I am a 17 year old self-taught artist. Born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska, I never had too many opportunities other than in school to fully immerse myself within an art lesson. I was more or less left to venture into the wonderful world of the internet and learn through trial and experience on how to draw.
If you open my google page right at this moment, you will find unending searches on ‘How to draw realistically’ and countless YouTube tutorials already viewed over at least 10 times. I feel like as an artist, I’ve learned all I can through conventional art courses. And being where I live, there are few opportunities in my area to take many art classes suited to my skill and age group…

Winning the Drawing Academy course will help me build the self-esteem that I greatly lack and maybe make me actually feel good about myself …

I’m a freelance artist located in Vienna, Austria. I’m interested in art since my teenage years but due to my lack of self-confidence back these days, I never dared to believe I could draw.
I never met one of my two grandmothers, they were dead before I was born. From one of them I own some of her drawings and paintings. She mastered both these forms of art and I thought, why not try it too. Although I never met her, I can now connect with her by knowing how it is to learn such a wonderful skill.
So I took a good book from Barrington Barber and began to seriously start learning to draw. Anyone who tries something new, knows that only persistence is the key to success. I made progress and had a lot of fun while drawing…

I am Neculai Angel Mihail and I have the dream to revolutionize the perception of people about art and it’s meaning …
Many people don’t enjoy making and/or seeing art… that’s not good because art is helping people to express feelings and to communicate.
I want to change the perception about art in that way that anyone would love it and enjoy it…

Artwork by Anna Solodovnikova
Hello. My name is Anna. I live in small town in Russia. One year ago I understood that I’ve never been really happy. While Looking for answer why I found that every person is born to create using different tool. That’s our natural need. I choose paints and pencil my tools. Now I’m happy but I’ve never learnt how to draw and feel like wondering in the dark. But thanks to drawing academy I found light and know where to go. I like to draw people because it’s the most controversial thing in the world. Nature is true beauty. But people can wake the strangest feelings inside of me that’s I want to transfer to the paper …

Jumping from one profession to another, was a risky move. The risk gets bigger if you have a family to support, or you are already 40. But that’s the case for me. I am in a family of 6; me, my wife, and 4 beautiful kids, from 10 to 1. And already 40! To simply put this into perspective, was an architect/ small-time contractor. Got sick few years back, that force me to change career. Tried design and animation, but going nowhere. So I decided to start painting digitally …
